On that last point, I understand that the Minister accepts that the prison authorities owe a duty under Clause 2(1)(b) as occupier to visitors at prisons. That being so, why on Earth should that same duty not be owed to somebody in custody? People who are in custody are already covered by the Bill. Therefore, the argument that people who have been sent to prison are not there at the wish of the prison authorities falls to the ground. Indeed, all the Minister’s arguments fall to the ground.
